[python-events] PuPPy's 1st Annual Benefit, Proceeds Donated to CSforALL – Featuring Guido, Larry Wall, James Gosling, and Ander Hejlsberg

[Don Sheu]

* name of the event: A Language Creator Discussion Moderated by Carol
Willing

* type of event: Charitable event benefitting CSforALL. Ruthe Farmer event
chair continues the tech inclusion work she started as a senior policy
advisor for tech inclusion for Obama as Chief Evangelist of CSforALL.

This event started in a conversation between Larry Hastings and PuPPy and
PyCascades founder Don Sheu. At PuPPy's fourth anniversary event, Don
proposed to Larry that PuPPy leads a crowdfunding campaign to send Guido
and his family on a Cunard cruise that visits over 50 ports of call, twice.
Larry responded, Guido would hate that. He hates traveling. Guido likes
discussing the intricacies of computing with others who care as much as he
does.

Don replied, he can do that. The result is that on April 2nd, James
Gosling, Anders Hejlsberg, Larry Wall, and Guido will delve deep into
language design and computing. Carol Willing will moderate the discussion.

No broadcast of the livestream. There are requests out to potential donors
to support a broadcast of the livestream. Otherwise being on premises is
the only way to watch this historic discussion.
